No, not a huge deal at all. That set is obviously for a collector, not someone who just wants to have a telegames heavy sixer. I have a boxed Sears heavy with hex discs and it is one of my favorite pieces. Buyers are generally adults, and adults will spend what they are comfortable spending. Shouldn't bother anyone, but i understand that some might be bothered by that and respect that. I have had offers of $750 for it and someone did indeed buy it for the listed price about a month ago, then returned it because of an issue with one of the controllers. No issue though, i think perhaps he had some remorse over the price perhaps. Nonetheless, due to eBay policies i was out over $100 in shipping charges. Perhaps that makes you feel better? (Kidding)

The Hex discs are real. Don't appreciate being called a name but if that's your thing then by all means, do your thing. The auction has been the same since it's inception, discs and all.

Here is what it should have http://www.ebay.com/itm/152178701161?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Will these work?

Oh, and the scary thing in this case is that his normal bidding strategy is to bid very early and then wait until the very end to bid again. These multiple bids he is making lead me to believe that he is very serious about this auction. The seller will benefit big time but this could be an enormous overpay. Gonna grab a beer and watch the end of this one.

Yes, easy to spot because of all the underscores in the name. The eBay "code" is consistent so u always see an 's' at the beginning and an underscore at the end with schoolgirls' code name.

My apologies, i'll get right on it

Congrats! Those are great finds. Enjoy.

As alluded to in this thread here your search is over if you can pony up the high price. There is currently a Sears Math Gran Prix with box on eBay. Schoolgirl will run the price up but if you want it bad enough it can be all yours. Good luck!

Put math gran prix in the search box, the seller did not put Sears or telegames in the title.

Ultimately what schoolgirl does is schoolgirl's business. Having said that, i have experienced some shenanigans from her (pronounced "him") on two occasions. Both involved me winning bids on Xante carts. Having read on AA that he will sometimes try to contact sellers after bids are done and try to basically outbid you after the auction is over, I contacted both sellers and warned them of this practice. Both indeed told me she/he had contacted them and tried just that. Fortunately both sellers were honest and did not accept the after-bids. Not a fan, but if he wins the Math Gran Prix auction in the allotted time then he deserves the auction. Perhaps i will become interested in that auction myself, just to make things "fair"........

Yes, i noticed that Schoolgirl is bidding....a lot.

H.E.R.O. Is about as good as it gets.

There is a Sears Math Gran Prix with box on eBay right now.

I sold Jeff a 400 shell for a restoration he was doing. Excellent AtariAger to deal with. Nice communication and very nice guy all the way around. Don't hesitate to ask me if you need anything else.

Yes, finding a cx-10 that is fully functional can be difficult. I have a box of maybe 40 of them in my garage that I intend to fix.........some day.

$40 would be a typical eBay price. However, the one you have pictured has the very elusive hex disc sitting on top and for those you are looking at $100+ easily.

There is a Basic Math on eBay right now, but it aint cheap.

Looks like it went for $700. Likely would have gone for more had it been a normal eBay auction. The auction event format seems silly to me, but to each his own I guess.

I would be in

Excellent transaction and interaction with Mark. I could easily spend a few hours with him talking Atari over some beers. Thanks again for the purchase and i hope you enjoy the paddle controllers! Look forward to talking with you in the future.

I have a couple of nonworking 400's and would be happy to send you just the shell if you still need one. Let me know if interested and I will go in the attic and check on the condition of the shells. Sean

If I come across a Basic Math I will let you know for sure. Have not seen one in a few months and the one that came across eBay most recently was a steal at $35 (They usually go from between $80-$100 in my experience). Are you also looking for the Big Box version of Indy 500? Some pics of mine. I have two Combats because there are two different boxes for it. One has a slanted manual slit inside and the other has a straight slit. Yes, lame I know....... Sean

I believe i have an extra copy of Star Ship. Basic Math is a TOUGH get. Tele-Games MATH in gatefold is extremely difficult to find as well.
